RAJDEEP OFFERS ABHIJEET A HERO CROWN HE HANDS IT BACK ๐จ
RAJDEEP SARDESAI: Two months made you an accidental hero. Has that recognition made you arrogant?
ABHIJEET DIPKE ๐ฏ: We cannot fight one personality cult by creating another. No individual should stand above the Constitution, institutions or country.
RAJDEEP: Fair point.
ABHIJEET ๐ฅ: That includes me. Keep every public figure accountable. Faces will change but democracy must remain with the people.
RAJDEEP ๐: That echoes Ambedkarโs warning against hero worship.
Avalanche on Broad Peak
Nine of the ten climbers have been located by drone, and the search continues for Sohail Sakhi. Due to bad weather, operations have been suspended, but they will resume tomorrow, when teams will attempt to reach the bodies to confirm the condition of those located (two or three lifeless bodies have already been recovered).
(Probably all have died.)
On this map you can see the site of the incident and the lower locations where Nims and Nadhira fell.

The rescue team remains stationed at the base camp and has reported spotting several more bodies through drone footage.
The rescue operation is being conducted under extremely challenging terrain and high-altitude weather conditions by the #Pakistan Army in coordination with local high-altitude climbers and rescuers.

END OF HUNGER... BEGINNING OF ACCOUNTABILITY...!
Sonam Wangchuk ends his fast after 26 days upon getting assurance from the government and members of parliament of all political parties that the issue of accountability in the failing examination system will be discussed on the floors of the Indian Parliament. The government also gave assurance that families of suicide victims in the recent NEET examination paper leak will be given adequate compensation and that there will be no cases registered against the peacefully protesting students and youths.

It was such a peaceful movement, feel so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to the students and their families who were hurt. Paper leak is a very serious issue, and I am glad to know n see that the kids of our country have come together for a better educational system, and their parents supported them.
I truly appreciate the stand they have taken, showing dedication, sincerity, and keenness to study hard n make their future and a greater, educated India. This andolan, this protest, is the right way to go abt it, n the students have done this peacefully. So courageous and brave. Driven and motivated towards education, this generation will make India proud.
This issue is between the students and the educational system, it should not be hijacked politically, the credit should only go to the students of our country, and I am sure the government will also give them all the support n make it a stronger educational system. Itโs a win-win situation. Hoping n praying for a positive decision. God bless all of you who wanna be educated.
Education should be the next trend and fashion, and should get trendier n more fashionable yr by yr, itna k bahar se log come to India to study and India becomes an educational hub.
